Reasonably priced, this private safari escape is perfect for visitors with a love of nature and the African bushveld or small conferences with a difference. The Private Game Reserve spreads over 12,500 acres of wilderness teeming with magnificent animals and birds.

Comfortable accommodation is the order of the day at the Mziki Private Game Reserve. There are four rooms available in the main lodge which offer views of the swimming pool and waterhole which animals visit regularly. These rooms are ideal for parents who wish to stay next to their children while enjoying privacy in their private rooms.

Alternatively, guests have the option of chalets or rondavels which are situated in the lush and indigenous garden of the lodge, providing constant reminders of the beauty of Africa. The chalets and rondavels are located apart from each other offering guests privacy and exclusivity during their stay. The front porch of each cottage invites for relaxation while taking in the beauty and sounds of the bushveld.

The family chalets at the lodge can accommodate two adults and two children sharing in two extra lengths three-quarter beds as well as one sleeper couch. The bathroom provides a toilet, basin as well as a large luxury bathtub with a shower.

During the warm summer months, guests enjoy the tranquillity and peaceful surrounding from one of the comfortable sofas at the outdoor area where relaxation and reading books can be enjoyed. This outdoor lounge is undercover and overlooks the swimming pool providing bushveld vistas beyond.

When not relaxing by the pool, guests are sure to find the safari drives and bush walk exhilarating. These forays into the bushveld are conducted by knowledgeable and experienced game rangers ensuring that the experience is a memorable one.

Guests staying at the lodge also have the unique opportunity to experience the untamed African bushveld on a river cruise. While enjoying a spectacular sunset, delicious snacks and refreshing beverages, wildlife can be encountered along the river banks where animals come to quench their thirst.

Children of all ages are welcome at the lodge and are accommodated in comfort in one of the spacious family chalets. Providing two adults and two children sharing in one chalet, adults travelling with their kids enjoy having them in the same room. The playground with a wooden jungle gym overlooking the bushveld as well as the outdoor swimming pool ensures children are kept busy and enjoy a fun time at the lodge.
